Just because it didn’t happen before doesn’t mean it can’t happen in the future. If a charismatic president who want to increase SS benefits and pay for it by completely eliminating 401k/IRA retroactively. I can see that gaining populous support. Especially if they can frame it as helping the poor and middle class by increasing SS by making the rich pay a little more, by just removing tax break that rich people don’t need. I see that as a very possible scenario. We’ll just have to wait and see.[/quote]
You’re arguing that the existence of some mythical boogeyman may come and take your money. That boogeyman doesn’t exist. No presidential candidate has ever proposed those changes. It’s like worrying about vampires or the living dead. Rand Paul being elected, and the US returning to the gold standard is much more likely. Do you think that’s likely to happen?
